Chapter 993 — The Singing Competition
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"When you're tired of studying at night, you can practice singing. Although this is an entertainment activity, it would be quite an honor to place in the grade-level competition!" Teacher Liu said. "I hope you'll all sign up enthusiastically. The top ten in the grade will receive stipends from the school ranging from one thousand to ten thousand yuan!"
"Whoa—" At the mention of prize money, everyone's mood rose even higher. There were indeed wealthy students at Songshan First High School, but most had gotten in through their grades, and those students' families weren't well off, so ten thousand yuan in stipend money seemed like a great deal!
If you could get a ten-thousand-yuan stipend just for singing a song, that was quite a good deal!
So some students who had been watching with the attitude of mere spectators now felt eager to try and sign up as well!
"Sister Yaoyao, are we going to join the singing competition?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Of course we're joining." Gu Mengyao nodded. "We'll go practice singing as soon as we get back."
Gu Mengyao's father was a school board member. As the school's young miss, she naturally supported and participated in every event the school organized with all her effort, so every arts festival, sports meet, and so on, Gu Mengyao always signed up!
Gu Mengyao didn't want to be criticized. Her position was very sensitive, so she had to set an example.
"It's not as good at home — our place doesn't have karaoke-quality sound. Let's go practice at a karaoke place!" Shen Yushu was rather playful and would take any excuse to go out and have fun.
"To a karaoke place..." Gu Mengyao hesitated, but Shen Yushu had a point. The karaoke system at home had been installed during the renovation, and they rarely touched it. The song catalog had never been updated, and whether it still worked was anyone's guess, so Shen Yushu was right that going to a karaoke place to practice was the simplest solution.
But Gu Mengyao had heard that karaoke places were a mixed crowd, where people from all walks of life often gathered, and for two girls like her and Xiaoshu to go alone was hardly safe. So she said, "Then let's bring Wei Zhao along too. Send him a text and ask if he's free tonight."
"Oh, okay!" Even if Gu Mengyao hadn't said it, Shen Yushu had already been planning to bring Wei Zhao along.
"Right, invite Tang Zhi as well," Gu Mengyao added, feeling that bringing Wei Zhao without Tang Zhi would be a bit rude, so she instructed Xiaoshu.
"Bring Tang Zhi too... all right!" Shen Yushu nodded somewhat reluctantly. Deep down, she had always regarded Tang Zhi as a rival in love, yet Sister Yaoyao suddenly seemed to have accepted Tang Zhi, which left Shen Yushu feeling a little out of sorts.
At that moment, Wei Zhao was also discussing the singing competition with Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Wei Zhao, are you entering the singing competition?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"I can't sing," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"You can't? I'll teach you! I can sing — how about we form a duo?" Feng Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Not interested," Wei Zhao said flatly.
